You're not getting what I'm saying. The problem with the Good Place, as the show presented it, is they have limitless perfection and nothing to do with it, which gets pretty old after the first billion years. Except, they actually did have something to do with it. Tahani walked away from Endless Utopia to help other people. That wasn't a thing they fixed - someone always could have done it. There wasn't anything or anyone stopping Hypatia from putting down the milkshakes and doing the same, or something else. They always had the ability to move on from Perfection and do something meaningful instead.

To use your example, Tahani achieved apotheosis! She's a god now, and is actually exerting her power to the benefit of the souls in purgatory/training, like how Eleanor achieved godhood and self-destructed to send her positive vibes into the universe. Except, the former was always there to do. What else was?

That exit pretty much only existed to Tahani because of who she knew (Michael and the judge), so actually the moral of this story is that even in the afterlife, the only way to truly get ahead is by knowing powerful people, and everyone else is destined to nothingness.

EDIT: Got my judge interactions screwed up with Michael's humanizing but my point stands
